However, the majority of remakes and reboots in recent years have been all-around disappointing, or have generated enough negative sentiment surrounding their release that they fail to succeed at the box office. That hasn’t stopped us from hoping that a select few movies eventually receive remakes that could possibly be better than the originals. Sometimes, it’s not so difficult to outdo the originals, of course.

Here are 15 Classic – And Not So Classic – Movies That Need To Be Remade ASAP.

15. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

There were high hopes leading up to the release of Stephen Norrington’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2003 — based on the famed comic book series of the same name by renowned writer Alan Moore — but thanks to unfavorable reviews and a general lack of attention (opening opposite Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl), the movie fell into an inescapable abyss. It is, tragically, one of the last on-screen appearance of legendary actor Sean Connery, who played the movie’s principal hero, Allan Quartermain.

14. Eragon

In 2006, 20th Century Fox released Stefen Fangmeier’s Eragon — based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Paolini — starring Edward Speleers as the eponymous Eragon, as well as a slew of notable actors such as Jeremy Irons, Rachel Weisz, John Malkovich, and Djimon Hounsou. Unfortunately, the movie was critically panned, for it exhibited nothing out of the ordinary heroic fantasy tale. Worst of all, fans of Paolini’s novel weren’t enamored by the adaptation.

Despite being a modest box office success, Eragon had the potential to be much more. However, with fantasy-adventure movies, such as Warcraft, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, and Alice Through The Looking Glass doing less-than-stellar at the box office, there is an argument to be made that the excitement and wonder surrounding the genre has dissipated. Nevertheless, we believe there is potential for a proper adaptation of the novel, with the possibility for box office glory.

13. The Last Starfighter

Following the overwhelming success of Star Wars in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Hollywood began to splurge on high-concept fantasy, sci-fi, and space opera films — such as Nick Castle’s The Last Starfighter in 1984 — over the course of the next decade. Although the movie did modestly well at the box office, it wasn’t an outstanding hit; however, it did earn cult status in the years since its release — that is why GPA Entertainment has been attempting to break ground on a remake since 2008, with filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Seth Rogen, and Gary Whitta having all expressed interest in the project.

Barring development hindrances, there is much interest in a potential remake of The Last Starfighter. After all, the movie, along with TRON, is largely remembered for being one of the first movies to incorporate computer-generated imagery — but that was in the ’80s. And we all saw how amazing the world of TRON looked with upgraded CGI when Joseph Kosinski’s TRON: Legacy released in 2010. Just imagine with The Last Starfighter would look like now — with even better technology — if the same people worked on a potential remake.

However, last year, Shyamalan expressed interest in making a sequel after he completes his next film Split, which releases this coming January. Still, we think it would be best if Paramount remakes the movie with a new director, new cast, and new story. Perhaps, then, we could get the Avatar trilogy we always wanted.

11. The Wraith

Recently, there has been a trend of highly successful or inventive independent movies (or, in some cases, YouTube short films) being acquired by studios and remade for a nationwide cinematic release. One of the most recent examples is David F. Sandberg’s horror film Light’s Out, which he made after his short film took off. Perhaps a Hollywood studio should take a look back at an independent movie from the ’80s: Mike Marvin’s action-supernatural film The Wraith.

9. Green Lantern

Warner Bros. has already announced a Green Lantern Corps movie for release in 2020 (same year as the Cyborg movie), but the thing is, with the Justice League movie releasing next year, a Green Lantern movie needs to happen as soon as possible. Green Lantern has not only been a founding member of the Justice League of America (including the revamped New 52 Justice League), but also of the Justice Society of America — that’s saying something.

8. Spawn

Superhero movies are great: they’re entertaining, full of surprises, and bring beloved characters to life on the big screen. However, occasionally, fans would choose simply to believe certain superhero movies don’t exist — and one of those movies is Mark A.Z. Dippe’s Spawn, based on the comic book character of the same name by Image Comics.

5. Fahrenheit 451

When it comes to dystopian futures, the narratives typically involve the burning of books or destruction of historical works, artifacts, and art, in order to eradicate the memory of such works — or, in some cases, an entire culture. While these wicked acts are often representative of political oppression, something inspired by the book burnings by the Nazis during World War II as well as The Great Purge in Russia in the mid-’30s.

The novel was adapted by François Truffaut in 1966, but there is no denying that the movie looks sorely outdated today, notwithstanding the drastic change in global politics since its release. There is arguably no better choice of movie primed for a remake than Fahrenheit 451, which is why HBO has commissioned 99 Homes director Ramin Bahrani to adapt the novel for the premium network. However we believe a story like this should not be confined to one network on television, but rather created for the big screen for the entire world to see.

4. Logan’s Run

Not all the movies on this list were busts; some were, in fact, box office hits, while others scored well with critics. Michael Anderson’s Logan’s Run — based on the novel of the same name by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson — was both a critical and commercial success, grossing almost triple its production budget while also being nominated for two Academy Awards. Then, why would anyone want to remake a movie that was remarkably well received? Because Logan’s Run was based on a novel, and when it comes to novels, there can be countless adaptations.

3. Dune

Every so often, a movie will be stuck in development hell, with multiple producers, directors, and writers attempting to bring a story to the big screen, but for various reasons, they just can’t seem to make it work. One such movie was David Lynch’s Dune, based on the novel of the same name by Frank Herbert. There were multiple attempts by producers such as Arthur P. Jacobs, Jean-Paul Gibon, and Dino De Laurentiis over the course of a decade — but it wasn’t until the film’s rights were about to expire that De Laurentiis commissioned Lynch to direct the film.

1. Timecop

Timecop is another example of a movie based on an established work — in this case, the Time Cop comic book story of the same name by Dark Horse Comics — that can be attempted numerous times. However, the movie that comic book fans got in 1994, with Peter Hyams directing and Jean-Claude Van Damme starring, is considered one of the most underrated movies of all time. But the question is, how many people have actually seen the movie? And for those that have seen it, would they recognize that it is based off a comic book?

If the landscape in Hollywood has made anything clear, it’s that there can be infinite adaptations of comic book characters and stories on the big screen (e.g. Spider-Man). So why should Timecop be any different? Dredd earned a well-received reboot in 2012, so perhaps it’s time Timecop received a similar reboot, one with updated visuals and new action star. Although Universal has commissioned a reboot with Mark Shmuger producing, we haven’t heard anything concrete on the project since 2010. Hopefully this reboot doesn’t get stuck in development hell like many other movies on this list.
